הכוחות הישראליים תופסים ספינת סיוע הנוסעת לעזה בקרב בים גבוה

Israeli naval forces intercepted and boarded the Handala, an activist ship carrying humanitarian aid and international activists, as it attempted to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The operation took place in international waters, sparking accusations of unlawful interception and 'piracy' from rights groups and activists. The 21 people onboard, including journalists, medics, and politicians from multiple countries, were detained, with some facing deportation and others launching a hunger strike in protest. This marks at least the third such interception this year, highlighting ongoing tensions over humanitarian access to Gaza amid severe shortages and famine warnings. The incident has drawn international criticism and renewed debate over Israel's blockade and the global response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
